As the gentle flicking of the tremolo subsides, the album launches into a heart-wrenching ballad lamenting the unfortunate truth that ‘All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye’. A soft string section permeates through the stillness to give way to an ethereal riff that bounces over the majority of ‘Heartbreak Warfare’, which at the time was accompanied by a three-dimensional music video that was activated by augmented reality.
It’s apparent from the first few pitch-bending notes of this record that Mayer was enjoying the process of experimenting with new sonic ideas. Yet, this denouement is tinged with a lingering sense of melancholy belying the self-doubt that pervades even the most valiant of attempts to move on. The final three tracks journal his recovery, concluding with a hopeful declaration to self in the form of ‘I’m Gonna Find Another You’.
Sandwiched between tales of heartbreak are glimpses of levity found in ‘Belief’, not to mention a soaring melodic guitar solo. On the very next song, ‘Slow Dancing in a Burning Room’, listeners witness the inevitable demise of a relationship under the lens of a hyper self-conscious songwriter, feeling every part of the crushing defeat that is to come despite the best intentions of the parties involved. Mayer’s contemplative side is ever present, with slow burns like ‘Stop This Train’ reexamining the trajectory of his success weighed against a desire to not lose sight of family and personal connections. The cohesive tracklist converted even the most critical of skeptics, all whilst his massive hits ‘Gravity’ and ‘Vultures’ climbed the charts. King paired with the unnerving rawness of his childhood hero, the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughan. Pivoting from the pop sound that made him a household name, Mayer changed direction to produce an album that unabashedly wore its blues influence on its sleeve-hints of soulful licks in the style of the sadly departed B.B. Though it is now abundantly clear that Mayer is one of the most influential guitarists of our time, crowd favourites like ‘Neon’ provided an early glimpse into his technical prowess and dexterity on the instrument. Patrick’s Day’ and ‘Wheel’ still resonate like the lump in your throat, looking out of a rainy window on a long train ride. These two records are to this day adored for their introspective assessments of loneliness and early romantic foibles. His first major label outing, Room for Squares and subsequent follow up, Heavier Things made him a bona fide pop idol with the hit single ‘Daughters’ nabbing him two Grammy Awards in the process. The breathy vocals and contrarian lyrics like “ They read all the books but they can't find the answers” were instantly relatable to young adults seeking respite from social exclusion or unrequited infatuations. When ‘No Such Thing’ hit the airwaves, a then-fresh-faced Mayer perfectly encapsulated the boy-next-door archetype.

In the twenty or so years of his career thus far, his body of work has displayed a depth of musicality unmatched by many of his contemporaries. That is to say, all of this detracted from the fact that Mayer is, unquestionably, a musical powerhouse in his own right. To others, he is the celebrity marred by controversy by tabloids over his romantic misadventures. To many, he may be the ‘Your Body is a Wonderland’ guy.
